AS WILL We seen from an interview
published in the LEDGER to-day,
and by resolutions passed at the
citizens meeting Saturday, Senator
Ball has fully explained his position
in regard to railroad legislation. He
says be is solid for a good bill and
voted for House bill 293, and Senate
hill G20, both good measures. At
the called session he will labor Jealous
ly in The interest of the people in the
fight against railroad pooling, extor-
ton. etc, etc. A misunderstanding
existed in the minds of many of our
people in regard to the Senator's
position, which nov appears to have
been dispelled. The Senator was
in Mexico for a day or SO
ami made a most favorable
impression ca those with whom he
has talked. The people of Audrain
county want a good railroad bill.
Senator Ball says he is with them
and will do all he can in this direc-
ton. He could promise no more.
The people could ask no more. Read

EVERYTHING READY.
What A. w. Wolf, the Contractor, has
10 say About the Work Of Ber-
ing the Hole.

Mr.. A. w. Wolf, the Pennsylvania
contractor, left for his home last
night. To LEDGER reporter he
said:
81 have left the matter of contract
ing for the timbers and lumber nee
essary for the building Of the rig
with Mr.. j. c. Rassford, Of this city.
He will make arrangements with par
ties of the lowest cash price, for the
same, to be placed on the location to
be selected for the hole. l am now
ready to contract for coal, of which
I shall probably need from 1000 to
5000 bushels, perhaps more. The
we'll will be started as soon as stuff can
be shipped here form Pennsylvania.
| propose to send the carpenters here
from home to build the rig, as it is a
special trade by itself. NY men will
want TO employ two local carpenters,
however, TO assist them. l think
in the selection of the Board of Di-
rectors the Mining company exhibit
ted fine judgement. The location
of the we'll depends largely on the
water supply, for, without GO or 80
barrels per day I cannot work. 1
hope no one will take offense at not
receiving information as to the ma
terial we pass through while drilling,
but as that information must be CIV
en- soley to the directors, they are
the ones to apply to. With no de-
tention by railroads. l think work
will be under way in 80 days, and
will he completed as soon as skilled
labor night and day can do it. I hope
the company will find oil, gas, coal,
or something which will justify the
investment"
